I made a new tarball that also changes the PKGNAMEs to godot3, godot44,
and godot, assuming that that's maybe what you had in mind...? This
way, I removed the READMEs from godot3 and godot44; left it only in
pack3/ which is package godot-*.

Maybe this new version finds support? (op@ is currently without
bandwidth to weigh in...)
